This savory entree features spiralized butternut squash “noodles,” which you can make with a spiralizer or a julienne peeler. Either way you make this pasta-inspired dish, it’s a fun and gluten-free menu addition offering a burst of beta carotene.

INGREDIENTS

SERVES 4

2 medium raw summer squash

3 tbsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin

2 garlic clove

1 tbsp Sage, Fresh

1 tsp Sea Salt

1/4 tsp Spices & Seasonings, Ground Cayenne Pepper

20 leaf fresh sage leaves

3 oz soft goat cheese

DIRECTIONS

1Preheat the oven to 450°F.

2If unable to purchase butternut squash that’s already been sprialized into “noodles,” purchase a couple large butternut squash; peel; and then create “noodles” using a julienne peeler or using a spiralizer on the thickest setting. This works best using just the top portion of the butternut squash.

6Meanwhile, toss sage leaves with 1 tablespoon olive oil and “fry” in a medium skillet over medium until crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes. (Hint: If unable to find fresh sage, use a handful of fresh basil in this recipe, no frying required.)

7Transfer “pasta” to a serving bowl, sprinkle with goat cheese and fried sage, and serve.
